In his first interview since leading chants of “death, death, death to the Idf” at Glastonbury, the frontman of punk duo Bob Vylan (pronounced “villain”), spoke to The Louis Theroux Podcast about the controversy and its fallout.
The chant ignited a firestorm of criticism, with Bob Vylan, at the time a largely unknown band, at the center of it.
Glastonbury condemned the chant, the band was dropped by its agency, UTA, and the U.S. State Department revoked the band members’ visas, forcing them to cancel their planned tour of North America. The BBC has admitted it broke its own editorial guidelines by live broadcasting Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury performance, though the U.K. public broadcaster’s Executive Complaints Unit stopped short of calling the broadcast an incitement or a violation of impartiality rules.
But if he had the chance, Vylan told Theroux, he’d do it all again.
